What we're doing

We’re calling out the “one retainer for life” myth.

Most people believe one retainer should last forever. Dr. G and the Gladwell team know better — and we’re here to prove it.

Retainers are plastic. Plastic degrades.

Heat, pressure, grinding, daily wear → gradual distortion.

Even tiny tooth shifts break the fit.

0.25 mm movement = ineffective retention.

Most people think retainers last forever — they don’t

That outdated belief leads to silent relapse

Why do retainers wear out?
Retainers are made from medical-grade plastic, and like anything used daily, they naturally wear down over time. Heat, grinding, and normal use will eventually cause small cracks or looseness, which is why replacement is important to maintain alignment.

The average person should really replace their retainer every 6 months if the goal is to maintain their orthodontic result and protect their teeth like a dentists family would. Our retainer subscription program makes it easy to stay ahead of wear instead of waiting until it’s too late.

If your teeth have moved slightly, we can usually correct that with a few new aligners that will move you back into the ideal position that can then be held with retainers.  If the shift is more significant, we may recommend a short corrective treatment plan before moving back into retention.

The retainer subscription program is right for anyone looking to make sure the investment they made in their smile is protected.  Whether it is through the better fitting and cleaner retainers delivered to your door every 6 months, or the savings from a reduced cost for a replacement retainer if you ever lose one or have dental work done between new sets, the program is a game changer for protection.  It’s ideal for anyone who has completed orthodontic treatment and wants long-term protection.   

Nope! If you’ve had orthodontic treatment anywhere, you’re welcome to join. We simply need to scan your teeth so we can make accurate retainers.

You’ll be billed automatically each month—similar to a subscription—at just about $30 per month. You get new retainers annually, plus discounts and perks if you ever need more.

We’ve all been there—don’t panic! As a member, you’ll get discounted replacement retainers, and in most cases, we can make additional retainers from your existing scan.
